Title: lab general questions
That's ridiculous, the proctor's are there as a resource for the lab
examinees. I've found that the more intelligently you ask a question
(i.e. let the proctor know you that you know how the technology you're
asking about really works), the more intelligent of an answer you
received. On my first attempt I sat right next to the proctor and
several people asked their questions very loudly. The questions like
"Should I use xxx?" were generally answered with "I can't answer that"
or "the directions were clear enough about what to do." Questions
like "I can accomplish this goal using xxxx or yyyy and the question
doesn't preclude me from using either one for these
reasons....(explain reasons as to why both would work). Is there a
method you prefer?" tended to be answered more specifically. So if
you can show the proctor that you know the technology and ask
intelligent questions, you will get more useful answers. If you are
blundering around (i.e. can't configure reverse telnet or read
instructions correctly) then you will most likely get the "I can't
say" answer.
In my first attempt, during day one I felt the questions I asked
showed the proctor I knew what I was talking about. During day two I
came across a feature that I had never worked with. When I asked the
proctor a question, he told me that I was heading down the wrong path
and maybe I should try something else. I felt that had I not asked my
previous questions intelligently, I would not have gotten this help
(not that it mattered, I still failed my first attempt).

For those who had taken the test before, can you tell me how many
questions are there for the test? I've heard horror story that
candidates cannot ask proctor questions, and if you do, you'll get
thrown out. Any truth to this at all? Thanks,
